Spain's Supreme Court Keeps Suspension on Voting Rights for 'Grandchildren's Law'
Spain's Supreme Court made a decision about voting.
Some people became Spanish citizens under the 'grandchildren's law'. This law gives citizenship to grandchildren of Spanish people who left the country.
The court said these new citizens cannot vote yet.
The vote will happen on 29 November.
The court stopped their voting rights before. Now the suspension stays.
The court is worried about the list of voters. This list is called the electoral register.
The court said there is a risk. The register could be wrong or made in a bad way.
The court said this risk is still there now.
So the people from the 'grandchildren's law' must wait.
They cannot vote on 29 November.
This is about rules for who can vote in Spain.
The decision comes from Spain's highest court.
